The events of September 11 created much debate regarding proper Christian responses to this serious conflict. Many have promoted the Christian understanding of just war theory. Others have urged us to reconsider the Christian pacifist tradition. Many people, both believers and non-believers, have been starkly reminded of the presence of evil in the world. This event seeks to find clarity to the questions swirling in the maelstrom of the post-9/11 moment: What has the Christian tradition taught us regarding these sober issues? How should we apply those traditions today? And what are our duties as followers of Christ to the civil magistrate--to "Caesar?"

The Age of Neuroelectronics

For decades, experiments at the border between brains and electronics have led to sensationalistic media coverage, vivid science fiction portrayals, and dreams of cyborgs and bionic men. But recently, this area of science has seen remarkable advances -- from robotic limbs controlled directly by brain activity, to brain implants that alter the mood of the depressed, to rats steered by remote control. In this New Atlantis article, EPPC Fellow Adam Keiper explores the peculiar history and present directions of this research, and considers the challenges of staying human in the age of neuroelectronics.

Blogging on the Courts

EPPC President Edward Whelan, the director of the program on The Constitution, the Courts, and the Culture, is a leading contributor to Bench Memos, National Review Online's award-winning blog on judicial nominations and constitutional law. You can read a list of all of his postings here.
Here is some of the praise Mr. Whelan has received for his blogging:
From Steve Schmidt, who, as special adviser to President Bush, led the White House's efforts to confirm the Supreme Court nominations of John Roberts and Samuel Alito: "Ed Whelan was the most influential and valuable commentator on the nominations of Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito. His remarkably rapid, thorough, and reliable responses to the distorted attacks on the nominees prevented those attacks from gaining traction. The White House was deeply grateful that he was on our side."
From Paul Mirengoff of the influential Power Line blog: "Blogs like NRO’s Bench Memos … enable legal super-stars like Ed Whelan to shoot down bad arguments against nominees within hours."
